What kind of experience is it to burn wood for heating in rural tile houses?

The way of heating in northern rural areas is generally to sleep on the kang and heat the kang with medium or straw every day to resist the cold in winter. If the temperature is too low and the room is cold, you should keep warm, usually using a stove.

But when I was poor, I couldn't afford to buy carbon at home, so I had to use firewood to keep warm. After chopping firewood, we found a small stove or brazier to make a fire, put the firewood away, lit it, and everyone sat around to keep warm. Some families who don't have a brazier use a broken iron washbasin or a broken iron pan as a brazier. This way of heating yourself is that the whole room smells of smoke, and a room is smoked black and everywhere. Although that way of heating was backward and harmful to my health, I was happy at that time. Sometimes I bury some potatoes in the ashes of the brazier when I warm myself. Soon the cooked potatoes in Huang Cancan will be cooked, which is called a fragrance.

Now heating has become a clean stove, and some places even canceled stoves and switched to natural gas heating. It's clean, but it's not as fun as before.
